Outlook Add-In dialog box is too small in Windows desktop client

I am currently creating a contextual Add-In for Outlook which opens an additional dialog box when the link is clicked.

On the Web client, the dialog box correctly opens to 80% size of the browser window.

However, on the desktop client, the dialog box opens to 80% of the size of the Add-In pane window - ie. much smaller.

The dialog box size is set by percentage of display width and height in the following line of code:

Office.context.ui.displayDialogAsync('https://myWebPage.html', { height: 80, width: 80, displayInIframe: true });

How can I get the size of the dialog box to be relative to the size of the Outlook window rather than the Add-In window on desktop client?
